In our recent article about Fuel Poverty Awareness Day, we noted the continuing challenges presented by a combination of rising poverty, escalating fuel costs and, in many parts of Britain, a prevalence of older and less energy-efficient housing stock.
Friday 2 December was National Energy Action’s Fuel Poverty Awareness Day. This annual event highlights the scale of the problem within the UK, its impacts on ordinary people and the work that is being done to address it.
We’re pleased to announce that SBS is a sponsor of the Insulated Render and Cladding Association’s annual celebration of excellence in the external wall insulation sector – the INCA Awards 2022.
We are sponsoring the ‘Component Supplier of the Year’ category, and will be attending the evening itself, which takes place at 7pm on Thursday 17th November at the Queens Hotel in Leeds.
On 15 November, SBS chair Derek Horrocks will be one of the guest speakers at the NRLA Landlord Conference, which will be held at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
In his capacity as chair of the National Insulation Association, Derek will provide landlords and other property professionals with an insight in to the role of the NIA and the practicalities of improving energy efficiency within residential buildings. He will discuss a variety of retro-fit options and the steps involved in designing, installing and funding them.
We recently noted that we’d received some very positive feedback from a resident in Stramshall, Uttoxeter, following energy efficiency works on her home. Now, just a week later, we’ve received a very kind ‘thank you’ letter from another resident; this time from Holmesfield in Derbyshire.
